Salman Khan to set free 400 inmates

Salman Khan is truly a man with a heart of gold. Re[ports have it that, the actor has come to the rescue of about 400 inmates who continue to languish in jail, despite having completed their term.

It so happens that, when a convict is sentenced to imprisonment, he is asked to pay a certain amount in the form of fine, besides serving the jail term. Now, if the convict is unable to pay the fine, he will have to serve an additional term. Through ‘Being Human’, Salman’s charitable organization, convicts who are unable to pay the fine, will be set free, as the organization has offered to pay the amount.

It is heard that the actor has written to the jail authority about it and is waiting for its clearance from the higher authorities.

A total of Rs 40 lakh will be submitted by the foundation, to the jails across the state of Uttar Pradesh, setting 400 inmates free.
